[Gongjinhyang – A secret Royal court formula that presents heavenly skincare to empresses]

Containing “Gonjinbidan” and “Wild ginseng Cordyceps sinensis”. Gongjinhyang helps create a more attractive skin tone. Through the principle of yin-yang harmony to keep skin balanced and the principle of increasing water and diminishing fire to enhance moisture within the skin while soothing it effectively, it gives skin a new radiance and smoothness.

Packaging

Sulwhasoo Liquid Cleansing Foam

Both packaging are very distinctively different. Sulwhasoo comes in a bottle and pump form and contains 200ml of the cleanser. You would need about 2-3 pumps each time.

History Of Whoo Foam Cleanser

Whoo’s cleanser comes in a tube form and contains 180ml in comparison to Sulwhasoo. However, while the Sulwhasoo cleanser contains 20ml more, you would need about 2-3 pumps each time. With Whoo, you would only need about two pea size of product each time.

Texture

Sulwhasoo’s cleanser is transparent ( slight yellowish teint ) gel while Whoo’s foam cleanser is a yellow white paste which has a pearly color to it.

The whoo foam paste is rather thick in texture, while Sulwhasoo’s has a serum like texture to it. However, compared to the Elisha Coy BB Cleanser which they both have similarities in texture, Elisha Coy’s BB Cleanser is more liquidy and spreads more easily on the face while the Sulwhasoo’s foam cleanser is thicker.

Sulwhasoo’s lather ( i wouldn’t use the word foam because the foaming is very light and not very noticeable ) is light on the skin while Whoo’s lather is thick and rich in texture.

Foaming Power

Whoo’s foaming power is definitely more superior than Sulwhasoo. Both do not actually ‘foam’ that much but both creates this thick white lather ( Whoo’s lather is thicker and more apparent as seen in the photos ). Sulwhasoo’s whitish lather does disappear after a while that is why it isn’t very noticeable in the 2nd photo, while Whoo’s lather remains dense and thick.

Cleansing Power

Whoo’s cleansing power is also superior to Sulwhasoo. The photo explains it all !

Post – Cleaning Feeling

Both cleansers give very different post-cleaning feel to the face.

Sulwhasoo gives a more moist and normal feeling after cleaning but the Whoo cleanser gives a very SQUEAKY clean feeling after cleaning. In fact, we usually hate this squeaky clean feeling which comes with a ‘pulling’ and dry feeling on the face. However with the Whoo cleanser, even though it gives a VERY squeaky clean feeling, it doesn’t ‘pull’ the skin and the skin doesn’t feel dry. You can really feel that your skin is very clean.

However, we were rather divided when it came to this. Half of us did not like that squeaky feeling because probably we were used to cream based cleansers and the other half loved the squeaky clean , yet non-drying after-feel it gives.

It really depends on your preference for this one. Unlike the Hada Labo cleanser which also gave the same sort of feeling like the Whoo cleanser, it left the face dry and tight. However with Whoo, it doesn’t give the dry , tight and pulling feel on your skin.

It is the first time we came across a cleanser which gives such a squeaky clean feeling yet not drying, and you can even hear the squeak if you glide your hands along your face after cleaning. This probably explains why the cleansing power of Whoo is more superior to Sulwhasoo.

The weather has been really &&£*”&£ lately. I walked to and fro the Post Office under the rain just to collect this for ALL of us. I should be rewarded the Whoo Soo Yeon Set for the Hope In A Blog’s Christmas Presents Exchange *giggles*

Anyway, all of us are loving The History Of Whoo and Sulwhasoo more and more, we bought lots of samples. We also profited from Suiskin Buy 1 Free 1 sales and they sent us two samples of the Panacea Program especially for our readers. Head over to our facebook page to find out how to win it !
